Post Office prices to remain the same for 2010 first class postage!

2010-03-10T20:06:00.000-08:00

Usually in March, the Post Office brings us the news that they are going to increase prices in May. Well not this year! The good news is there will be no increase for first class mail in 2010. It's going to stay at .44 cents for this year.

According to a statement last fall from the USPS, "The Postal Service will not increase prices for market dominant products in calendar year 2010. Simply stated, there will not be a price increase for market dominant products including First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, periodicals and single-piece Parcel Post."

To which Perfect Postage says "Party on!"

Birthday party invitations will fly through the mail at the same 44 cent rate as last year - what a party!

Now that graduation is around the corner, you can even add your son or daughter's picture to their own postage stamp - at the same 44 cent rate as last year. Now that's Perfect Postage!

$1.00 Custom Wedding Postage?

2009-05-29T22:23:00.000-07:00

Well, no. the $1.00 custom wedding postage is not currently available. HOWEVER, with a little creativity and ingenuity, you can have custom postage for your wedding invites even if they weigh $1.00.

Look what Maria and Brad did for their $1.00 wedding invites. Even though the postage is $1.05, they were still able to customize their wedding envelopes with their monograms.

(Maybe Michelle and Barack would like these too!)

The current custom denominations available for custom stamps can be found in our faqs.

If you're wondering what the US Post Office has to offer for the $1.00 denomination ... well, here it is. The $1.00 "Wisdom stamp" is based on the artwork at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City with the quote "Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of they times." (If you want to know a little more about this stamp, here's an interesting post.) It's nice but ... for weddings?

If your wedding invitations will cost $1.00 to mail, contact the experts at Perfect Postage. We can work with you to create two custom stamps - and mix and match any way you like. We'll work with you to make it "perfect".

With the postage price increase coming on May 11, 2009, summer brides will be looking to see what the new postage stamps designs will look like for their wedding mailings. While the bad news is that the price of wedding postage is going up, the good news is there are several nice designs!

With this ring ... Here is the new 44 cent stamp with two gold wedding rings. Photographed by Renée Comet of Washington, DC, the rings rest on a small white pillow united by a slender ribbon of white silk.

3 tier Wedding Cake Stamp - The new 61 cent stamp features a wedding cake with intricate scroll design on the fondant. Sure to add a touch of beauty and romance to wedding correspondence, the 2009 Wedding Cake stamp is being issued at the two-ounce mailing rate in order to accommodate the heavier weight of an invitation. The 61 cent 2009 postage also covers other mailings such as oversize cards or small gifts that require extra postage. The stamp depicts a three-tier wedding cake topped with white flowers, their green stems and leaves a delightful contrast to the cake’s creamy white frosting. The cake was photographed by Renée Comet of Washington, DC.

King and Queen of Love - a new design at the 44 cent rate, is fun and fresh. Vegas brides could get a kick out of using this for their wedding invitations. Using images from 18th-century French playing cards as reference, artist Jeanne Greco created the stamp art.

Celebrate! This stamp, first issued in 2007, helps to acknowledge a host of happy occasions, from birthdays to engagements to anniversaries and more. This will be available at the 44 cent rate. Artist Nicholas Wilton of San Geronimo, CA, designed the Celebrate! stamp.

Polar bear postcard stamps - While this may not work for all brides, this is the new 28 cent postcard postage that will be issued. Illustrator Nancy Stahl used a collection of photographs to create this design. Stahl has created several stamp designs for the Postal Service, including the Florida Panther in 2007 and Dragonfly in 2008.

David Failor, manager of Stamp Services said "Most of these stamps will be issued on or before the May 11 stamp price change." Stay tuned - we'll update our posts as soon as they will become available.

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, many brides are asking for Valentine designs for their February 14th wedding day. Since Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday this year, there will be more bride and grooms saying "I DO" on this perfect day.

We've created some fun wedding designs with bright red hearts and special accents to make your wedding envelopes pop. Here's one design Cindy (who is marrying her high school sweatheart next month) absolutely loved. She's all about the hearts - as you can see!

Tim loves chocolate ... and Hannah loves Tim. That's how we came up with this "chocolate lovers" postage for the two of them. Sweet stamp! You can customize this with your own names.

We also had a request for a special "Valetine's Day" engagement card (yes, we also do cards!). Courtney and Josh, who were engaged last year on Valentine's Day, wanted a special card to send out to friends and family. I dusted this off and brought out to show for this year's Valentine's couples. You can customize the inside any way you like.

If you want special "Valentine's Day" postage stamps, try this wonderful heart with a candy foil meets glass background. Unique - and perfect!

Create your Own Wedding Photo Stamps

2007-08-25T17:14:00.000-07:00

Although they cost more, photo stamps do give the wedding envelope the "wow" factor. With a little bit of effort, you can create your own. It's easy to do - and the results are fantastic!

The steps are simple:

1. Find a great quality photo of the happy couple.
2. Make sure the size is appropriate (or resize to fit).
3. Upload your photo, choose the rate, size and quantity.
4. Enter your credit card and delivery information.
5. Your stamps will be delivered to you in about 5 to 7 days.

The sites listed below give you the recommended size for your photo based on the size stamp you choose.

Tip! If your image is smaller than the sizes, you'll have extra white space around the photo. If your image is bigger than the maximum sizes, it will automatically be scaled down to the maximum size. So, it's actually better to have it 2 or 3 times bigger than the maximum as the image will be printed at a higher resolution than the standard.

Here are some of the major players in wedding stamps.

Stamps.com PhotoStamps at stamps.com has a great interface ... plus a page called "the Wedding Advisor" with great postage and mailing tips.

Simply upload your photo, tweak as necessary and purchase. They also have a choice of graphics you can add as a frame.

PictureItPostage prints stamps in packs of 20 or in rolls of 3,000 for high volume mailings. Good to know if you're inviting a small city.

They also allow customized backgrounds (shown below) to match the colors in your photo or in your wedding.

ZAZZLE has an easy interface, 3 sizes to choose from and allows you to add text. They also offer the largest image space of any custom postage.
Stamps are sold in sheets of 20.

Custom Wedding Stamps add the "wow" factor

2007-08-25T14:46:00.000-07:00

You may have already seen one show up in your mailbox. If not, you will soon. Personalized wedding stamps add the "wow" factor - and brides across the country are taking notice.

Since the Post Office allowed customized stamps, thousands of brides across the country have stamped their invitations with their own personal touch.

So where do you find great wedding stamps?

The Post Office

Yes - that's a place to start. The Post Office does have wedding stamps available. Here's a wedding stamp design at the 41 cent rate and the pink stamp for heavier invitations at 58 cents.

Beautiful Blooms ...
The Post Office also introduced a series of flowers bursting with color. These are striking close ups of single flowers - maybe one matches your wedding color.

You should be able to find these at your local post office. If not, call toll-free at 1-800-STAMP-24 or shop online.

If these don't suit your taste, you do have options. Create your own or choose a pre-designed stamp from thousands on the web.

When choosing a custom stamp, you'll pay a bit more. A sheet of 20 1st class 41 cent stamps from the post office is $8.20. A sheet of 20 custom stamps runs about $13.00 when you buy in bulk (10 sheets or more). If you buy only one sheet, the price goes up to anywhere from $18 to $22.

If the cost of custom postage for ALL your invitations is out of reach, you can purchase just one or two sheets for special wedding guests. (Note to scrapbookers: one sheet of stamps fits perfectly in a standard scrapbook page.)
